Science for circus performers

New collaborative project between the University of Montreal and Canada's National Circus School has three main objectives: identify evaluation criteria for best practices in training programs for circus performers; develop optimization protocols for practices that help to improve student performance; conduct a descriptive and correlational epidemiological study of student injuries to better prevent them. By the end of the project, the university and the circus school hope to have an internship structure in place for students of the University's kinesiology program. The cirus students and teachers will also benefit from the specialized services of the university's kinesiology clinic to manage complex situations such as certain injuries or overtraining.
